Mr.. Burke. telegraph operator, and
wife left yesterday at 1 p. m. for the
enjoyment of 8 months leave Of alb
sence in Richmond, Mr., Burke's
former home.
Mr.. Burke has we'll earned his
holiday; for his labors here have
been faithful, able, and perfectly
satisfactory; for to professional skill
of high ordershe unites a patient
and urbanity that won him not on
ly friends, but thankfulness: as
witness his devotion during the try
ing days and nights after the
Charleston earthquake.
We wish him and Mrs. Burke a
pleasant holiday.
The Wilmington Star says:
eve note the arrival of car load
of furniture at Raleigh for the
Peace Institute. Also, that it was
manufactured at Asheville."
We are glad to see not only
the work of the Asheville Furniture
Factory receiving attention abroad,
but that it is attracting the atten>
tion of the press of the State. This
section is at the fountain head of
the finest furniture timber in the
United States, and it is worked up
with a skill and taste and general
excellence not surpassed elsewhere.
Now we want carriage factory;
for the material fol vehicles of all
kinds is quite as good as for furni-
ture. Why cannot, ,why should not,
Asheville make and ship as fine
buggies and carriages as Cincinnati
or Louisville?

POULTRY FARMING.
A recent issue of the Goldsboro Argus

POULTRY rAKMlNS.
A recent issue of the Goldsboro Argus
says:
The probabilities are, that poultry
farm on quite an extensive scale will be
started at an early day, near this city.
Now if such an enterprise may be
practicable and profitable Goldsboro,
SO much theastronger the reason why it
should be SO here. The demand for
poultry of all kinds is incessant in our
market. The demand continues without
abatement throughout the year. Large
hotels must have a constant supply;
| oarding houses are equally dependent,
and private families will not do without
the luxury of turkeys, ducks and chick
ems. The demand is hardly ever salts
fed. The supplies that daily come in
from the country are but drop in the
bucket, aud therefore resort is had to
East Tennessee which seems always
ready as well as able to supply our
DEFICIENCIES.
Like many other things we lose sight of
what we could provide ourselves out ofour
own industry. Climate ar1 the re eadiness
with ;1oaiifS:ry food Is Ss62sf led, as we'll as
the certainty of steady and profitable
market.
We want, not one, but several poultry
farms. 1t matters not whether they are
within one or a dozen miles of AsheYille.
They would pay well within any reason
able distance of the city. Any surplus
we do not believe any would ever exist
could always be shipped to Charles
ton, Wilmington. Raleigh, Columbia Or
elsewhere with advantage.
But we would remind those engaging
in poultry farming that it is a business
that involves system. The capital need
ed is small. But there is required care,
watchfulness, attention to health, to feed
ing, and regard to fattening qualities
of the various breeds. A turkey or a
fowl on the Richmond or Norfolk mar
ket is very different creature than that
which appears on that Of Asheville.
There need be no difference. What
exists now proceeds from that reliance
upon the unaided resources of nature.
We hope the subject will meet prop, r
and prompt consideration.

The International Medical Convention

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.-President
Davis called the International Med
ical Congress to order at II o'clock
this morning, and introduced DIR.
Austin Flint, of New York, Who
proceeded to read his paper on fever,
its causes 22meC hanism and rational
treatment. His paper was largely
of a technical character, and was
listened to with profound interest
BY a large audience Of Doctors.
President Davis announced in the
meeting that the amount of work
in various sections was such that it
was found desirable that they should
hold sessions for two hours in the
afternoon. For this reason it would
probably be more satisfactory to all
parties if the address of Prof. Sem
mol.s, assigned Gor delivery to-day
be postponed until 100 clock to-
morrow morning, and that hereafter
but one address be delivered each
day. He therefore announced the
session adjourded till tomorrow.

Theatre Burned and Horrible Loss of
Lite.
lBy telegraph TO the Asheyllle Citizen. !

| Ill
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The victims by
the burning of the Theatre Royal
at Exeter last night were mostly
work people. AS soon as the flames
were extiDguished large force
of men began searching for bodies.
The stairway leading to the gallery
was literally packed with bodies,
while at the head of the stairway
there were scores of others piled
one on top Of another. The un.
fortunate victims had rushed to
the door when the alarm was given
but found the stairway, and all
means Of escape cut off. In short
time flames had reached them, and
they suffered a horrible death.
There were pitiful scenes in the vi
cinity of the burned theatre this
morning. AS the friends and rela-
tives of the supposed victims
awaited the recovery of the bodies.
In many cases mothers and fathers
both persisted, and numerous chill
dren are thus left without means
of support. Several of the bodies
were burned SO that only small
cinder remain ID. The number of
persons severely injured, is sixty.
1t is feared that the death list will
reach one hundred and forty.
This evening it has been ascer-
tanned that there were two hundred
persons occupying seats in the gal
lery, and of these over one hundred
lost their lives. Search for the bod
les still goes on vigorously. 1t is
probable that the total number of
deaths will never be ascertained,
owing to the fact that many of the
bodies were completely ca!cined.
Two stalls of a Stable belonging to
the hotel adjacent to the theatre are
filed with the remains that it is
impossible to identify. Most of the
killed were adults and chiefly men;
but few children perished. The
municipal authorities held special
meeting to>day and arranged for
the interment of all the unidentified
bodies.
